HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
A letter has also been sent out from the headteacher at Llanishen High School.
Sarah Parry wrote: "Without wishing to cause undue alarm, I need to raise your awareness about an incident that occurred in the local area at 8.45pm on Friday.
"As one of our sixth form students was walking up Heol Hir in Llanishen, a dark coloured saloon car pulled up next to her and instructed her to 'get into the car'. The driver was male and of mixed race origin.
